Jimmy Fallon Booed for Joke About Hillary Clinton's Clothes

Jimmy Fallon took it a little too far on Monday's episode of The Tonight Show, when he mocked Hillary Clinton's clothing during a joke about Chelsea's recently announced pregnancy. In his monologue, the late-night host said, "If it's a girl, it'll get some of Chelsea's old hand-me-downs, and if it's a boy, it'll get some of Hillary's." The audience, who was not having it, promptly booed.

Fallon then tried to sidestep by making it all about "a little white pantsuit" and saying, "It wasn't that hard of a joke. What's the big deal?" Well, Jimmy, the big deal is that you implied Hillary Clinton dresses like a man, and that that's somehow a bad thing (if it's even true). A lot of idiots on the Internet already think she can't be president because she wouldn't be able to do it while being a grandmother, so it's probably best to cut her some slack in the wardrobe department. Also, it's 2014 and jokes about the way powerful women dress are so 1985.
